OET interlinear JOB 41:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מִ֣י הִ֭קְדִּימַ⁠נִי וַ⁠אֲשַׁלֵּ֑ם

(Some words not found in UHB: from,mouth,his flaming_torches go sparks fire shoot_out )

Yahweh is using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “No one has anticipated me, that I should repay!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הִ֭קְדִּימַ⁠נִי

(Some words not found in UHB: from,mouth,his flaming_torches go sparks fire shoot_out )

The word translated anticipated means to arrive somewhere before someone else, but it has the implication of making arrangements to help that other person when he arrives. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “has helped me”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

תַּ֖חַת כָּל־הַ⁠שָּׁמַ֣יִם לִ⁠י־הֽוּא

(Some words not found in UHB: from,mouth,his flaming_torches go sparks fire shoot_out )

Yahweh is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “Everything under the whole sky belongs to me”
